The 20 Essential Sushi Restaurants in Houston

"This Montrose mainstay is the oldest Japanese-owned restaurant in the city, operating since the mid-1980s. This low-key restaurant serves up authentic Japanese cuisine and features dishes not often found at other sushi spots. Its sizeable menu includes such dishes as the takowasa (raw, chopped octopus marinated in wasabi), sukiyaki hotpot, and a stellar katsu curry. The no-frills sushi menu offers a selection of nigiri and sashimi, plus traditional and signature rolls. Chirashi is a must order, with its assortment of sashimi artfully arranged over a bed of rice." - Minh Truong, Megha McSwain
